Every decade had something fashion-wise that was specific to that decade, that was part of a cultural movement in that period of time that causes sentiment and nostalgia today. My question is, what will we be nostalgic over in our last decade (2000s) as we move into the future.

i feel like almost every trend from the past decade (or even decade an a half) was really just old trends coming back in style- boho, neon, layering, leggings, statement shoes, necklaces, earrings, etc, platforms, converses, feather hair accessories...the list goes on. there are definitely some trends (like the denim minis and pop tee shirts, juicy, ironic tee's, hipster, prep) that are very late 90's and 00's, but, again, most trends are just retro styles from our parents generation.

i disagree with the person who said military jackets, i think that this type of style is increasing. i think the more sculpted and defined clothing style is becoming more popular.

i think the 00 decade has been pretty lazy with fashion (though i'm not saying that i didn't like the fashion). it's just that, as someone said before, the 00 decade seemed to always look back on and be inspired by the decades prior. honestly, i don't really know if there will be any completely new and innovative styles in this decade either, just re-inventions of the fashion in the past.

So true. I remember when I was little and I would watch futuristic movies, I thought the new millennium would have really specific styles to look back on, like tin-man hats and aluminum foil jackets or whatever absurd garments teenagers would wear in those movies :p I'm not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed!

So I guess hipster regurgitation of former trends was the way to go last decade, although I do feel the "ironic" vibe was the main characteristic in the adoptions of these trends and ultimately what characterizes this last decade (see American Apparel and LA street style)
